Mission Statement
Food Justice Coalition works to increase healthy food access throughout Utah by creating fresh, nutritionally-dense, plant-based meals to benefit food-insecure families and people experiencing homelessness.
About This Cause
Food Justice Coalition (FJC) increases food security for all Utahns by providing direct relief in the form of nutrient-dense, ready-to-eat meals, engaging in advocacy, and educating the community about healthy eating. Founded in 2021, Food Justice Coalition (FJC) seeks to enable access to nutrient dense, plant-based meals for individuals and families living in poverty including those facing homelessness. FJC focuses on healthy and delicious prepared meals as the majority of the people we serve lack access to the resources to engage in meal preparation. In addition to our mission to connect low income Utahns with healthy prepared food, we also strive to reduce food waste by working with dozens of partners including local farms and other food distributors to utilize their surplus of fresh food. We gather food from these partners before it is thrown away and turn it into delicious and nutrient dense meals. In the three years since our inception, we've served thousands of hungry Utahns and introduced many of these people to plant-based meals while saving tons of food waste from landfills. We've done all of this without our own kitchen to prepare our meals. Now that we've seen the demand for our services, we are in the planning process for our own kitchen and cafe to better meet the need for healthy and affordable prepared food in our community.
